Rumours of a supernatural monster abound, and this latest atrocity has the entire town shaking in fear. The local police are beside themselves and have made no headway in solving these crimes.

Fun:
I would recommend this to adult, broadminded, dedicated adventure fans, as an opportunity to play something which is certainly innovative for the genre. To clarify:
* Broadminded because there is a lot of swearing.
* Adult because you play fairly unsympathetic characters..
* Dedicated adventure fans because they will have already played all the "greats" and will be on the lookout for something a bit unusual.
Pros:
* Highly developed characters and intriguing unusual plot. You certainly get a sense of "being there".
* Great voice acting (including the voice of Adam for any Archers fans).
* Fair puzzles, and where they are hard you are normally constrained to a single location, so you not left wondering whether to go pixel hunting in other locations looking for something you have missed.
* No timed sequences or mini-games.
* Hotspot highlighter
Cons:
* A bit too much conversation.
* The last quarter of the game gives the impression they went over budget and used cut scenes to move things on and so shorten the game.
* You have to remember that you will get different results from a left click (action) and a right click (examine) and you may need to do both.
I certainly enjoyed playing it and hopefully you will too.

I bought this game for playing whilst recouperating from an illness. It was great, just what I needed! The story was good, the graphics flowed well and the puzzles were good. I just wish it had been longer! I would recommend it to anyone

Brilliant,I am an adventure fan and play all my games to the very end, this was well worth it. No mini games, and for once I did not go to a walkthrough, but spent many hours playing and enjoying every minute. The end was a suprise, well worth finishing. From the developers of Black Mirror, so if you've played them (I and II; III is just out) you will definately play this. Graphics, places to visit, look and find, mix object in inventory just brilliant, even the conversation was well worth listening too.

Alter Ego.....what is that?!
